14<para>Note that on this and the following pages, we
[36f9a23]15use <emphasis role="strong">eth0</emphasis> as the example interface.
[050d775d]16If you want to configure a different (or more than one) interface, simply
[36f9a23]17replace <emphasis role="strong">eth0</emphasis> with the interface you wish to
18use.</para>
19
20<para>These instructions will convert the configuration files from
21<acronym>LFS</acronym> (a static configuration) to a configuration using the
22<acronym>DHCP</acronym> protocol. Note that static and
23<acronym>DHCP</acronym>-based interfaces can co-exist on a
24<acronym>LFS</acronym> system. To do this, you should only make the
25alterations to those interfaces which need to support
26<acronym>DHCP</acronym>. All of the instructions on this page are applicable
27no matter which <acronym>DHCP</acronym> client you intend to use.</para>
[050d775d]28
29<para>If the interface you intend to use as your default gateway is going to
[36f9a23]30use <acronym>DHCP</acronym>, the first step is to remove the <envar>GATEWAY
31</envar> and <envar>GATEWAY_IF</envar> variables
[050d775d]32from <filename>/etc/sysconfig/network</filename>. This will only need to be
33done once.</para>

[36f9a23]37sed "s/GATEWAY/# GATEWAY/" network.bak > network</command></userinput></screen>
[050d775d]38
39<para>You then need to create scripts which will override the default
[36f9a23]40network scripts and provide <acronym>DHCP</acronym> support. These two scripts
41are generic and so for use with both <acronym>DHCP</acronym> clients. First,
42the <filename>ifup-eth0</filename> script:</para>
[050d775d]43
[36f9a23]44<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifup-eth0 &lt;&lt; "EOF" </command>
[050d775d]45#!/bin/sh

47source /etc/sysconfig/rc || exit
48source $rc_functions || exit
49source $network_devices/ifconfig.eth0 || exit

51echo "Bringing up the eth0 interface..."
52modprobe eth0
53loadproc $DHCP_PROG $DHCP_START
[36f9a23]54<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
[050d775d]55
56<para>Then the <filename>ifdown-eth0</filename> script:</para>
57
[36f9a23]58<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifdown-eth0 &lt;&lt; "EOF" </command>
[050d775d]59#!/bin/sh
60
61source /etc/sysconfig/rc || exit
62source $rc_functions || exit
63source $network_devices/ifconfig.eth0 || exit
64
65echo "Bringing down the eth0 interface..."
66$DHCP_PROG $DHCP_STOP
67evaluate_retval
[36f9a23]68<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
[050d775d]69
70<para>Finally, we need to make these scripts executable:</para>
71
[36f9a23]72<screen><userinput><command>chmod 755 /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifup-eth0 &amp;&amp;
73chmod 755 /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifdown-eth0</command></userinput></screen>
